Firestone Hot Springs closer to nowhere

@Grayday ?

Days blended into nights. Nights blended into days.

It was weeks, going on a month, since Miyako had wandered into the Teekon Wilds. And still, nothing of substance. Every interaction had been for naught.

She was losing hope. Wondering if it had been a mistake to leave her brother, the rest of her family, up north. Despite the bloodshed. . .they were family. There were no family here.

From the flatlands she wandered, up into this minefield of geysers. The hot springs kept her warm during the autumn nights. She dozed off beside craters, rudely awakened when they decided to spit their steam toward the sky, shaking the hot droplets off her pelt.

She felt alone. And not in a good way. Not in the freeing way she had felt when she had departed her home. Alone in a crippling way that affected everything, from the way she walked to the way she...fucking breathed.
